Lately, however, because of the calls we are receiving, we are becoming concerned. People are calling to ask what kinds of services are available. To better answer any questions, I would like to make the following information accessible to all. To begin, we are more than a nursing home. Most people know about Community Group Services, the Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Older Adult programs; the social and cultural activities, the hot lunches, the visiting nurse and other health screening opportunities. But is it known a ride can be arranged to these gatherings? Is it generally known that an Omaha senior citizen can obtain transportation (by reservation) for medical appoint; ments? That both Livingston Plaza and Blumkin residents I have twice weekly shopping trips? These services fall under the auspices of the Transportation Department of the Bureau. If cooking or food preparation is a problem, a hot kosher noon meal can be delivered daily, Monday through FViday. l Meals on Wheels is a Bureau service. For those who share their home with an elderly relative who cannot manage alone during working hours, we have ,an Adult Day Care program at Blumkin which could be a L great help.

(0)tmir nmg^n^ In Esrs^el Investigation sought in murder case
Only in America? After hearing David S. Wyraan, author of The Abandonment of the Jews, speak at the JCC Sunday night, I decided to write this editorial rather than a news account of his talk. Why? I don't really have a clear understanding of why, but let me pass along some thoughts that are rumbling through my mind. Tomorrow night; a gathering will take place as the State of Nebraska throws its support behind the building of a Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Earlier this month, terrorists,massacred 21 Jews who were praying in a synagogue in Istanbul, Turkey. Israel has reported Iranian-trained squads in Southern Lebanon whose headgear reads: "On to Jerusalem." And so on and so on. Has the news for Jews ever been good? Only in America, you might say. Well, let's look at what Professor Wyman had to say ... News of the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews became public in November, 1942, but the United States State Department already had been aware of the plan months earlier. Although one might have expected a governmental response quickly, it took 14 months for the Roosevelt Administration to take steps at all. From here on, according to Dr. Wyman, U.S. efforts went downhill. And Great Britain also took no steps to help the Jews. : Why? The truth of the matter is. Dr. Wyman pointed out, is that neither the United States nor Great Britain wanted the Jews to escape. There was literally no place for Jews to go before the Holocaust, and after the Holocaust. Nearly 200,000 Jews could have been saved if the United States Used existing immigration quotas during that period and all it would have taken would have been a call from President Roosevelt to the State Deparfnient. The call was never made. In April, 1943, the famous (now infamous) Bermuda Conference was held so that the United States and Britain could explore rescue options for the Jews. "A pretense, a sham, charade, fraud," states Dr. Wyman. The real-purpose, he said, was to "dampen the pressure" for action. O.K. so we had a president who didn't want to act. What about Congress? More bad news. Dr. Wyman points out that antiSemitism in the United States peaked from 1938 to 1944 and that almost 40 per cent of Congress was clearly antiSemitic at that time. Finally, in January, 1944, Roosevelt issued an executive order setting up the War Refugee Board. If he didn't do so, a terrible scandal would have hit the front pages. The headline: "The acquiesence of the government in the murder of Jews." Now, you're probably as confused and distressed as I am. Let's read the book.
The Jewish Press .
(Founded In 1920) Suzanne Singer
HAIFA—The Eda Haredit in Jerusalem, the autonomous, Orthodox, anti-Ziopist community, has applied to the International Court of Justice at The Hague, demanding the establishment of an interoational commission to investigate.the murder in Jerusalem of Dr. Jacob Israel deHaan, a leader of the ultra-Orthodox group, who was struck down by bullets in front of the Shaare Zedek Hospital. I The secretary of the extremist Orthodox group, Rabbi Jacob Scheinberger, stated in his letter that deHaan was the "Foreign Minister" of the organization, and was killed because he represented the ultra-Orthodox before Arab and international bodies in opposition to Zionism. He claims it was a political murder instigated by the Zionists, and with the knowledge of the Labor Zionist leadership. The demand for an investigating commission has caused little excitement in Israel for three reasons. First of all, Israel today has its surfeit of investigations and demands for investigations. Every time someone seeks to make political capital out of one event or another, the cry goes up for a public probe. The war in Lebanon, the bank shares crisis, the killing of two terrorists, among other

To the Editor: Cox Cable's "good citizen" help was further evident on Sept. 14, when the company gave six hours time on its Chaimel 25 to the Chabad Lubivich fund-raising telethon from California. One did not have to be of any certain segment of Judaism to be enthralled with the effort and enthusiasm put into that program. It was thrilling to see and hear so many entertainment world personalities, both Jewish and non-' Jewish, give their time and talent to showcase Chabad's non-sectarian war on drugs and poverty. It was a real public service effort on Cox Cable's part to air so worthwhile a telethon, and it is too bad that not more, to whom it wt^s aimed, did not get the "nachas" of viewing it. Gene Rich

incidents, have provided cause for a renewal of Israel's new national sport: masochistic self-flagellation. The public is fed up. The second reason is that deHaan was far from being a popular figure. His career was unusual. He had an Orthodox education in his native Holland but left the faith, assimilated, and veered toward socialism and then anarchism in his politics. He married a non-Jew and his sons were raised as Christians. Eventually deHaan returned to Judaism, became a fiery Zionist, and then drifted into the ranks of the extreme religious anti-Zionist of Jerusalem. As a newspaperman he began to publish bitter criticism of the Zionist movement. He was a member of t^e N$turei Karta delegation which met with Arab leaders in Jordan, and proclaimed that his Jews rejected all national or political aspirations. Before his death, he was about to embark on another antiZionist international mission. Some referred to him as the most hated man in the country. He was denounced as a traitor, and began receiving threatening letters. He was exposed as a homosexual, and one theory has it that the Arabs exploited this weakness of his for their own purposes. Despite offers of a reward and a great manhunt, deHaan's murderer was never found. The Neturei Karta, which conducts annual prayer services at his grave on the Mount of Olives, maintain that the leaders of the Labor Party gave the order to have him "removed" from the scene. Not long ago Israel television interviewed a Jew, now resident in Hong Kong, who inferred that he had pulled the trigger, and that he had indeed been sent on the mission by the top leadership of the Zionist Laborites. Qne kibbutz member, who knew of the circumstances, said in an interview that the deed was done as an important mission, and no oiie should have any pangs of conscience. The third reason why the demand for an investigation has not created much of a stir is the fact that deHaan was killed on Jaffa Road, Jerusalem on June 30,1924, more than fifty years ago. Books have been written on the subject, and the case has become a part of the early history of the country. The event bad almost been forgotten until just now when the Meah Shearim activists, citing newly discovered evidence and testimony, made their demand for an international inquiry. The cynics may note that revival of the charges against the leadership of the Labor Party of fifty years ago, comes at a time when the successors of that leadership have themselves pcessed for an inquiry into the alleged killing by Israel's Secret Service of two Arab terrorists caught redhanded as they hijacked a bus full of Israelis. No guilt has been proven in either case, but many see a world of difference between the two incidents.
To the Editor: For the past four years I have had the honor of being a community teacher in Omaha. For those unaware of this program, i conununity teacher is a professional educator employed by the Jewish Federation, who teaches at Temple Israel, Beth £1, Beth Israel and the Jewish Day School.
Through this position I have been able to view the entire spectrum of Jewish educational programs in Omaha. I see that there are many dedicated people and strong programs at all of the institutions. There is unfortunately one essential component missing. This element is parental awareness. Parents must be as concerned and involved in their child's Jewish education as they are in their secular education. This involvement would enrich the families and in turn the Omaha community. Due to an Air Force transfer my husband and I are regretfully leaving Omaha. This is a warm, caring, concerned community and we will always treasure the time we have spent here. We say not shalom but I'hitraot—see you soon! Lori Sachs The following letter was received by "A Campaign to Remember" and the writer gave permission to have it published in the Jewish Press. Dear Friends, I'm not Jewish, but would like to be part of the Holocaust Memorial Musetun. I could never be able to give ^hat you ask but am sending a check for $10 and pray you will accept. I have always been burdened about Israel and was horrified at the slaughter in the synagogue in Turkey. I have been giving to Kalah Franklin Amit Women for some time; Every dime I get in change is saved for dime banks to be sent to children in Israel. Also, when our children were killed in a car accident I bought a bond and when it came due, it was sent to Israel through Amit. I wish I could send more but am on Social Security of $336 per month. The Lord is good. He led to a little tlu'eeroom house. I pay $100 a month to pay for the house. We were caretakers at Pleasant Hill Cen;ietery for 15 years and three years again after my husband died. Then they bulldozed the house and I had to move. We got to meet many Jewish people and still correspond with some. I do pray you get in the money. Mra. Carl Jensen

Spread over us a sukkah of Shalom By Arthur Waakow*^ One of the deepest themes of the fall cyde of Jewish itivals is that we tnm toward Ufe. Prom Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur, we reach within ourselves to make this :; and then at Sukkot we go out into the world to a house of life. This year, the ancient Jewish cycle of festival-time coincides with a modem American cycle of decision-time, the Election cycle. And this year, in both cycles it will be specially appropriate to focus on tumiiig toward Kfe—life lor ourselves and for our children and grandchildren. For phis year we face the serious possibility of putting a brake ton the nuclear arms race and thus turning one small step iaway from the dreadful death of all Earth's children and pur entire planet. I For years, many Jewish organizations have urged a halt pn the nuclear arms race. Now the US House of R^resenta[tives has votied to take part, along with the Soviet Union, in a moratorium on teats of nuclear, weapons. The road is Snot entirely clear, because the Reagan Administration is 'opposing such a moratorium—even though the Soviets ^ave invited on-site verification. So in the American elecftion cycle there is now more possibility of turning towar^ iife and away from nuclear death than at any time in years. [ In the Jewish cycle, the harvest festival of Sukkot has m the last few years become "Sukkat Shalom"—a focus 'for concern with life and peace. This year, Sukkat Shalom ;ha8 grown much stronger at both national and local comrmunity levels. Such national organizations as the American ijewish Congress, the Reform, Conservative and Recon^structionist synagogue bodies, and New Jewish Atrenda ihave joined with The Shalom Center to encourage observ;«nce of Sukkat Shalom. The United Synagogue's Com^mission on Education has identified Shemini Atzeret at the 'end of Sukkot as a time for Atzeret L'Hayyim—a Gatherring for Life. , '_ Why has the community identified Sukkot as the time lo address this question? One of the most moving prayer's of our tradition begins, "Ufros alenu sukkat shlomekha"— "Spread over us the sukkah of shalom." For sukkah is vulnerable and open. If its leafy roof keeps out the rain—then it is not a sukkah. Offhand, this seems not the house for [feeling one's self secure and peaceful; for it is too vulnerable to enemies.' Yet this is just the point. Our ultimate security, the suk:ah teaches, lies in sharing the knowledge of how insecure twe are. And in the nuclear age, this is especially true. Under the shadow of the H-bomb, all peoples and all life on earth live Lin a sukkah. No fallout shelter or "invulnerable laser [shield"—the exact opposites of sukkah—can protect us. Eveji if "our own" H-bombs landed half a world away in the Soviet Union, they would be triggering nuclear winter, [destroying life in North America. Chernobyl was only a hint [of how meaningless the Bomb makes national boundaries. [ And so in our generation the best path toward shalom [is recognizing our vulnerability and working to end the I'nuclear arms race. In 1986, and 1988, and 1990 . . . there will be a national
Kutlers receive letter ^Ht. (Continued from Page 1) f There is no need to say that this event was a terrible ihock on us. We would never expect such an awful thing » happen here. It is so strange, we keep hearing so many >ad news from all over the world but we never think that me day it may happen to ourselves. Well, it did. I just don't mow how to express our sorrow, our distress and also ndignation and hatred. In fact it seems so unfair to me to tell how we feel (I and ny family) when all those people are dead and their diswnsolate families are crying after them (God knows if they irill ever be able to piill themselves together). I mean, I feel ;hat we have no right to tell how bad we feel and to mourn »>mpared to those poor people. , Anyway I know what I'm trying to say is quite confusng, but actually this is the way we are: confusedl I still »n't believe it. But we tried at least to share some of their lorrow (in fact our sorrow) by going to the funerals. Even ihough we couldn't get in the synagogue, we prayed for ihem outside. You should see that crowd, it was incredible, even those jeople who didn't know their Jewish identity were there, jtanding as if to say "we're here, we exist and we always (rill!" It was really so sad. One of the victims was our pediatrician (niine and Deborah's). Deborah and his daughter were classmates. And one of the rabbis (the younger one) was my classmate's brother. The saddest of all both the son and the father were killed there, I know this letter is Starting to be unbearably depressing, but it is kind of reliev'^ hg to talk to (I mean to write to) people who you know » share your feeling. ' The Turks have been of great help, I must say, all the inass media devoted themselves to this event only, and the Jay of the funerals all the traffic of the highways leading to the cemetery was paralized only the cars going to the :»metery were allowed to pass. But we can't make the same rorapliment to the Intelligence Service ... • Thank you very much for your carefulness and especially rour patience for reading this legend-like letter. , : Please write to us and tell about yourselves. We love you Meggie, Joseph and Ruth
electicm a few weeks after Sukkot. The vahifrcommitnwnts that Jews make during Sukkot can become action-commitments a few weeks later when the time comes to vote. We can carry our commitment from harvest booth to voting booth. What does' it mean to make Sukkat Shalom? In Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles, there will be major candidates' forums at leading synagogues. First a Jewish speaker will lay out a "Jewish yardstick" for judging the arms-control issues that will come before Congress— and then the Democratic and Republican candidates for House and Senate will respond with their own positions. In San Francisco and Miami, the Jewish Community Relations Councils will dedicate a community-wide Sukkah as a Sukkat Shalom. In hundreds of synagogues and local Jewish organizations, rabbis will be giving sermons, schools will be teaching, and sisterhoods, brotherhoods, youth groups, and social-action committees will be studying how to apply Jewish values and history to the nuclear issue. Materials for such programs are available from The Shalom Center, Church Road and Greenwood Avenue, Wyncote, PA 19095. So this year there is a way to take the promises we make to ourselves, each other, and God on Roih Hashanah and Yom Kippur—and make them real in the wwld at Sukkot by turning toward life for ourselves and all our children.

By Mary Fellman A time to look forw^ to delicious holiday meals fcH- Rosh Hashanah family and friends is also a time to reflect upon what has been happening with "kashrut" in the Omaha Jewish community during the past year. It is a time to take note of the magnificence of the Campaign Dinner '86 which was held at Peony Park for over 850 people and which was strictly kosher under the supervision of the Vaad Hakashrut of Omaha. It is a time to remember the first "sleep-out" camp for our Jewish children that was held this year under the supervision of Chuck Arnold and which was under strict supervision with the preparation of food by one of the cooks from the ARA at the Jewish Community Center and with a livein "mashgiach" (kosher supervisor). It is a time also to learn about the great detail and planning that went into the lovely reception that was held at the Joslyn Memorial Fountain Court in honor of the Israel Philharmonic. Every detail of the Joslyn kitchen was under supervision and in addition to preparing that location, our "mashgiach" Annette Fettman supervised the "koshering" of the Stoysich smoking ovens for the preparation of the smoked trout. It has been a year that has seen much progress in the planning of kosher community events and it bodes well for the future in Omaha. Anyone, organizations or individuals wishing assistance in planning a kosher event in a local hotel or restaurant is invited to call Mary Fellman, chairman of the Vaad Hakashrut, 651-7257, for assistance. As usual, we pass on. to you a variety of recipes to help make your holiday a little more delicious, a little tastier and always we hope a healthy and happy holiday period for you and you^ family. This first recipe for roast capon with olives comes from "Kosher Cuisine," a book by Helen Nash which you will find in the Jewish Federation library in the wonderful section on Jewish and Kosher cooking. Check it out. ROAST CAPON WITH OLIVES 6 Servings One 6-pound capon '/« bunch parsley with Juice of 1 lemon stems; washed, driuned, H cup black olives, (pitted coarsely chopped and quartered) Kosher salt 3 onions, peeled: 1 quarBlack pepper, freshly tered, 2 thinly sliced groimd 3 tablespoons vegetable ' oil Vi cup dry white wine I suggest you use a roasting pan just large enough to hold capon. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse cj^xm, pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Cut off excess fat or skin. Place in a roasting pan and season with lemon juice inside and out. Put onion quarters intocavity of capaa with olives and parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Scatter onion slices around the bird and smear capon with oil. Place capon on its side and roast in center of oven, for 30 minutes. Baste frequently with the wine. Turn bu-d to the other side and roast for another 30 minutes, basting frequently. Turn capon breast side up and roast for 15 minutes, then breast side down for anoUier 15 minutes. The total roasting time is iyi-lV4 hours, or 15 minutes per pound. Capon is ready when drumsticks mftve easily in their sockets. Remove pan from oven and cover tightly with heavy foil. Leave for 20 minutes before carving." Degrease pan juices and serve sauce separately. (Continued on Page 11)

I don't know how close it is to the high holidays as you read this, but as I write it is very early September. Suddenly, on this quiet Sunday, I realized it's not a bit too soon to start baking some honey cakes and mandel bread. All of which made me wonder what the Jewish housekeepers did before the days of freezers? I must remember to ask my Mom, but I suspect it was the same old story of doing everything the hard way and baking (while pots simmered on the stove) for the couple of days just before yom tov. Of course it i^ taken for granted all the fury of cleaning and scrubbing had already happened. That induded closets being readied for the winter and the absolute conviction that if smelly moth balls weren't liberally scattered, nu)ths would move in and eat all the clothes overnight! Maybe the fears were legitimate in those days before sophisticated climate control in the house. All I remember is the fierce assault to the nostrils! When I got married and became Hannah Homemaker I was thrill^ to learn my brand-new roommate was allergic to the moth crystals. We've never had them (the poison OR the moths) in 41 years, so I'm not going to sweat it. But back to the kitchen and the holidays. I didn't get the baking started today after all. Oh, my intentions were good, but when I began to get my stuff together, I suddenly remembered something really important: the freezer would need cleaning and defrosting before it could welcome the new crop of goodies. It's a good freezer and suits all of our needs perfectly, sp we've never seriously thought of gretting rid of it for a newer model that takes better care of itself. Too bad. The chore of defrosting is the kind that I think about for months before I actually get to it. While I'm procrastinating, the ice is getting thicker, of course. Well, a^ of that is neither here nor there. I finally did it, and as always, I was thrilled to see how the freezer gets roomier when the ice is removed! Sp, the beddng didn't get startecf: I did, however, go through my recipes and pull out the necessary cards. They are where 1 can see them and I know the baking will be done when I can fit it into my schedule. That is, in the coming weeks, between the time dinner is cooked and the time we sit down to eat, I will fill at least one oven. If my enthusiasm remains high, I will get the first hun; dred pieces (one recipe) of mandel bread done AFTER- din-, ner. 'This will be done on days When I've not been home until late afternoon. My mother was always better organized. She was home to begin with. But there, you see, is one of the differences between then and now. It's also why the dam freezer is so important!

Next gathering Sept. 30, for the installation of officers. Reservations are needed, $4 a head. There will be no earlybirds on that date. Sept. 16 guest moderator was Al Schwartz, who favored us with Yiddish humor. It was followed by the same from Doc. Margolin, Max Platt and Murray Bor-. den. Art Grossman quoted, from a Chicago paper about an amendment to allow a third term for a President; there were pros and cons from the floor. A poll showed, unanimous approval for only two terms. Also discussed was the subject of drugs and the President's anti-drug bill. Motzi by Joe itice (Welcome back, Joe), Benschen by Keith Peltz (who was in rare form), V.P. Sam Rosenstein, subbing for Pres. Gerald (to Rochester with Lois), and from Art Grossman, a reminder of the massacre of our people in a Turkish Synagogue, and a memoriam for our late brother, Frank
Fishberg, a gentle person, always with a smile and a personal greeting. Sec. Dave Dvorkin reminded us that '87 dues are due and generous contributions to the Mitzvah box by Herman Herr and Ed Weiner. Sunshine Chairman Norm Wohlner reported that Oscar Diamond and Ben Mauer are hospitalized, and Mel Plotkin is out of sick bay and home: Thank you Mollie and gals for your services. Art Grossman, chairman of the nominating committee, presented the slate for '87 which was unanimously approved. Guest speaker was Paul Shyken, D. D. S., and^his wife, Susie, was a guest. Paul is a graduate of UNO and Oeighton, served in the Air Force, and on the Creighton Staff. He gave us the concepts and history of dentistry, discussed oral hygiene, sugar free diets, regular checkups, new trei ds in implants and new .ech^ niques. Thanks, Paul.

Rabbis praise TV program By Gene Rich "Hello Jerusalem." the Israeli weekly television magazine of the air, which has been on Cox Cable 7 for several months, was given high praise this week by Omaha rabbis. "I find 'Hello Jerusalem' to be an excellent magazine type program on Israel," said Rabbi Stephen Barack of Temple Israel, in discussing the program, which is shown three tiroes weekly on Cox Cable 7. "It displays Israel as it is," continued Rabbi Barack; "a country of deep contrasts and varieties of interest, a country of freedom and democracy, a country struggling with its economy and serving its neighbors. It shows Israel as a place of ancient origins and love of the past, and as a place of progressive industries and incredibly advanced scientific achievements. "I tape every show and frequently use the tapes as references for courses 1 teach. Those who do not watch it are missing a delightful and informative visit to a wonderful adventureland," added Rabbi • Barack. Rabbi Myer S. Kripke said, "Omaha is fortunate to be able to see 'Hello Jerusalem' on cable. Every week the program takes us to Jerusalem, and other parts of Israel, to see the endless, never failing fascination of the land and
the people. "The weekly archaeological etp«ditions and the interviews with leading personalities, with Simcha Dinitz, are among the features that capture the viewer's attention. The program offers a weekly tour, renewing experiences we have had from past visits and whetting the appetite for more!" concluded Rabbi Kripke. Saia Rabbi Paul Drazen of Beth El Synagogue, "The State of Israel is a marvelous, mysterious place. For those who have been there to visit, it is a series of stops on a tour, but places that were not seen often have little reality. For those who have never been there, Israel may conjure up images of pioneers living in a not-quite-modem country, still working the land by hand. "Of course, both these images are inaccurate," emphasized Rabbi Drazen. "Fortunately here in Omathe television pjogram 'Hello Jerusalem' can help everyone get a better picture of the State of Israel and come to know the people better. Although the best way to get a feel for Israel is to visit; the next best thing is watching 'Heljo Jerusalem' in your own home on Cox Cable 7 every week," he concluded. The program is Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and Monday and Wednesday nights at 7 o'clock.

Temple Israel Sisterhood.
Blind cantor speaks to NFTS delegates By Claudia Sherman "I think blind people run into a certain amount of discrimination that isn't malicious but rather comes out of ignorance," said Mindy Fliegelman who was in Omaha Sept. 20 and 21 to speak to the delegates of the 36th Biennial Convention of District 20 of the National Federation -of Temple Sisterhoods (NFTS). The first blind woman ever invested as a cantor in the history of Judaisnn, Ms. Fliegelman recognizes that, "We as blind people have to fight. Here—at a convention—I get the chance to educate a lot of people at once." Blinded as an infant, Ms. Fliegelman said she had always dreamed of being a cantor. Although her parents treated her as a normal youngster, even relying on her to care for a younger sister, they told her being a cantor was a man's job. "But I loved to sing," she smiled. "I sang whether they liked it or not." She was one of the first blind students permitted to attend classes alongside her peers in the public schools of Dade County, Fla. When she was 21 years old, Ms. Fliegelman mdved from Miami to New York City in search of greater independence. Her first job was as a library clerk at the Jewish Braille Institute, which was founded by NFTS. The director of the Institute insisted that Ms. Fliegelman was "going to be a cantor some day." At one of the numerous performances she Was giving in ' New York City at that time.
puter system would best suit their particular, needs. She trains these people to use the computers and the software. This "new career" which she started in January takes up most of her working week. She hopes that she will improve the quality of her clients' jobs, their employability and their lives in general. Cantor Fliegelman likes to travel. She has visited about 25 states within the borders of this country as well as traveled abroad including to Israel. From 1968 through 1972, she was a featured soloist and cast director of her local Sing-Out America (an outgrowth group of "Up With People" singers). She also taught younger children to swim, and she spends time training her three-year-old Golden Retriever, Amber, her seeing-eye dog. "She's so bright," Ms. Fliegelman marvelled, "she can continue to learn every day." Cantor Fliegebnan added that she'd "love to get married and have a family." She also would like "to leave the people I touch a little better off for having known me." After meeting her, she would like others to realize that "blind people can—not that they can't."

Rabbi gives advice on helping families A Kansas City rabbi has a prescription for what ails the American family. "We must recapture the sacred dimension in our lives," said Rabbi Michael R. Zedek, spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Jehudah. He urged some 100 delegates to the 36th Biennial Convention of District 20, National Federation of Sisterhoods to use their leadership, position to improve family Ufe. There are three ways' to help, he said, adding that the three are "example, example, example." Rabbi Zedek, giving the keyoote address at the Red Lion Inn, said families are facing a "litany of despair" and self-indulgence is rampant. He said conditions are so bad that they can be likened to the fall of the Roman Rabbi Zedek Empire when drug use, homosexuality, lack of responsibility on the part of the young, and a demand for luxuries were major activities. The American dream, he said, has become a negative where nursery schools offer "tutors for toddlers"; a sin is a "C or D" and the unforgivable sin is an "F". Rabbi Zedek told the women not to despair since the Jewish people are a people who will not give up the dream. "Poverty in the shtetl produced purity of the heart and the inalienable obligations of life, Uberty and the pursuit of mitzvot. He urged that fataiilies start tzedakah proj^ts, and network with other families to ultimately change the world. COUPON
